Today I fully severed the side-grafted scions from their roots, having cut 2/3 of the way through the stem two days ago as part of weaning. Now it's a waiting game to see if any of them die, meaning the graft hasn't taken properly.
Two of the dodgy cleft grafts have died, with two more hanging on. The remainder seem OK, but they are still wilting a bit when put into the light so I am being cautious with them. I had to cleft graft some more last Saturday since the angles of my cuts for the side graft weren't enough of a match, so the two cuts hadn't fused together.
